Operation, Safety
97
Trunk EntrapmentYour vehicle is equipped with an internal trunk
release mechanism.
A person trapped in the luggage compartment
can release the lid from the inside using the un-
locking handle.
The handle is fluorescent and glows in the dark.
Note
fWhen loading the luggage compartment, make
sure that items of luggage or other objects
cannot become caught on the handle.
This could cause the luggage compartment to
open unintentionally.A warning message in the on-board computer
lights up when the unlocking handle is operated.
fStop the vehicle immediately when the warning
lights light up.
fCheck the luggage compartment.
fClose the lid.
Function with vehicle stationary
If the luggage compartment lid is unlocked with
unlocking the handle, the lid can be opened from
the inside immediately.
Function with vehicle in motion
If the luggage compartment lid is unlocked with
the unlocking handle when a speed of 2
mph
(3 km/h
) is exceeded, the warning message in the
on-board computer lights up.
At the same time, the lid is unlocked and the latch
striker pops into the catch-hook position.
Danger!
Risk of accident.
If the warning message in the on-board com-
puter lights up when the vehicle is in motion,
the lid may impact in front of the windshield
and can tear off.
You can lose control of the vehicle and seri-
ous personal injury or death may result.
fStop the vehicle immediately when the warning
message lights up.
fCheck the luggage compartment.
fClose the lid.
Note
The lid cannot be opened from the inside if the bat-
tery is disconnected or empty.
Safety reasons require that you unscrew the
latch striker of the lid lock if you plan to put
the vehicle out of operation for an extended
period.
fPlease consult your authorized Porsche
dealer.
They will advise you about the necessary
measures.
